"What? This is the city of Oz, which is known as the city of flowers in the beautiful city-state? ”

Deng Jian looked at the city shrouded in gray haze not far away with a bit of a sluggishness.

At this time, a day had passed since they had fought Pluto, and Zhao Chen, Deng Jian, and his newly joined companion, Ye Funi, had finally passed through the Forest of Trumpet Buds and arrived in Green City.

However, the city in front of him, where chimneys and factories stood everywhere, and black smoke was constantly emitted into the sky, really stunned Deng Jian and Zhao Chen.

On the contrary, Yephni on the side was calmer, she frowned slightly, looked at the black smoke in the sky, and explained: "The City of Flowers has been the title of three years ago, in the past two years, people have developed amazing reserves of oil and gas under Lvye City, in order to extract and develop, they have opened a large number of factories here, those flowers and trees have been polluted, the department has withered, and stopped growing. ”

Speaking of this, Yephne paused, and her eyes lit up with a look of nostalgia: "I still remember that in the summer here, people would hold a flower festival in the flower fields under the sun, and on that day, the people of the city would gather. ”

"It's a pity that that scene will never be seen again." Speaking of this, Yephni was a little depressed: "After a while, I'm afraid that Green City will be completely reduced to a barren land." ”

"......" Zhao Chen was silent for a moment, he looked at the layer of black smoke and dust shrouded in the surrounding vegetation, and said, "Let's get the badge in our hands first." ”

"Yes, get out of here as soon as you get it!" Deng Jian agreed: "I'll check the location of the Lvye City Elf Club......

"I know where." Yephne spoke, she paused, and explained, "I came here a few days ago. ”

"Okay, then you can lead the way!" Deng Jian said.

Ye Funi nodded, glanced at Zhao Chen, and asked, "Are you collecting badges to challenge the Eagle Country's Super Trainer Competition?" ”

"Nope." Zhao Chen shook his head and said, "Challenging the Elf Club is an experience for me. ”

"Okay." Yephne accepted this statement and continued: "The club rules in Oz City are 1v1, the president here is named Alice, and the elves that are good at using are the Monarch Serpent and the Venom Brier, with your strength, it shouldn't be a problem to defeat her. ”

"Monarch Serpent and Venom Brier, 1v1 mode...... Pretty good. Zhao Chen thought for a while and said.

Yephni smiled: "It is said that the reason why Alice set the rules of the battle as 1v1 is because she is lazy. ”

Zhao Chen: ......

While talking, the three of them also came to the door of the Green City Elf Club, but unfortunately, the club was closed, and a note was posted on the door, saying that Alice had something to do and would not be able to return until tomorrow.

In desperation, Zhao Chen could only leave temporarily and come back tomorrow.

On the way to the hotel, Deng Jian looked at the pedestrians wearing masks hurriedly walking by, and said in a low voice, "Have you noticed...... There are no elves in the streets of this city......"

"Who said that, look over there." Zhao Chen pointed to an alley around the corner and said, "There's a stinky mud ......."

Deng Jian looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, he saw a stinky mud crawl out of the garbage can, and then burrow into the sewer through the manhole cover.

And at this moment, there was a sudden sound of engines starting above their heads, Zhao Chen raised his head and saw five or six planes flying over their heads, where they flew, the gray haze in the sky disappeared, as if it had been absorbed, and then the clear blue sky was revealed.

"What's the situation?" Deng Jian was a little puzzled.

Zhao Chen and Ye Funi looked at each other, and Ye Funi shook her head, saying that she didn't know what the situation was.

Suddenly, there was a sigh behind them, and then an elderly woman came over on crutches, she looked up at the sky above that had been "purified" by airplanes, and sighed: "The number of purification days is getting more and more frequent, is it getting more and more polluted......

"Purification Day? Grandma, what are you talking about? Deng Jian asked suspiciously.

The old lady turned her head to look at him and said, "You're from out of town, aren't you?" ”

Deng Jian nodded.

The old woman sighed and slowly recounted, "Since the group of people came to set up a factory on a large scale three years ago, the smog has shrouded the sky of Green City, and since then, the surrounding trees have withered, and the elves have left the city one after another......"

"Later, the group of people found a way to purify the sky from somewhere, and they would purify the sky of the city every seven days, and the day of the purification was called the day of purification, but the clean sky would not last for a few days before it would be covered with smog again."

"Recently, the number of purifications has become more and more frequent, originally once every seven days, but now it is purified every three days, which shows that the environmental pollution is getting more and more serious......"

Hearing these words, Zhao Chen raised his head and looked at the sky, and after a while, the haze in the sky was purified, and the entire sky became clean.

"Let's go to the West Side Plaza! There will be a beautiful fireworks party there in a while......" The old grandmother said, then turned around and left, leaving Zhao Chen and the three of them looking at each other.

After a while, Yephni spoke: "The fireworks will ...... Check it out? ”

Zhao Chen thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's okay, it's idle anyway." ”

After making this decision, the three of them took a taxi and drove towards the west square, and the driver took them to their destination in only twelve minutes.

After getting out of the car, the time also came to evening.

Half of the sun had already set, reflecting a colorful sunset on the horizon.

Many residents have gathered in the square, resting, playing, or looking up at the sky.

Soon, the sun had set completely, the sky was covered with a black curtain, the street lights were lit up, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell of factories.

At this moment, the planes that had cleared the sky not long ago gathered in front of the square, and they lowered a mechanical arm from the cabin, and the mechanical arm was holding a transparent box at the end.

As the mechanical arm descended, the transparent box automatically closed, revealing its contents, but it was shrouded in darkness, making it impossible for anyone on the ground to see it.

"It's time to start!"

At this time, there were voices of anticipation all around.

Hearing this, Zhao Chen and the others immediately cheered up and looked up at the sky.

Three seconds later, the thing that the mechanical arm was holding suddenly bloomed with a burst of intense light, and under the illumination of that light, Zhao Chen saw the appearance of the thing clearly.

It was an elf that looked like a white hedgehog, and the upper part of its body was covered with dense fresh green grass, with a pair of pink flowers growing on either side of its body, and four small white short legs struggling weakly in mid-air.

Is that...... Shemy?!

Just when Zhao Chen was shocked, the few Xie Mi in mid-air launched the light on their bodies, and the light condensed into a sphere, which exploded directly in front of it, and for a while, a ball of firelight illuminated the darkness, and the crimson tail flame spread out in all directions, looking like a bright firework.
